If they're arguing about how long they'll be in court, then I'm thinking it's a green light for the trial.

The San Angelo Standard-Times - "Defense and prosecution considered a mass of motions for several hours Wednesday for the trial of Abram Harker Jeffs, whose trial in sexual assault of a child is scheduled to begin June 9.

The motions varied from having travel restrictions on indicted members of the Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, to being allowed to look at redactions from the prosecution, to being allowed to stop trial at a reasonable hour. Stephanie Goodman, Jeff’s defense attorney, said she hoped trial days would run from about 9 a.m. to 6 or 7 p.m."

You never know. There could be another plea deal, but that's not the vibe I'm getting, in the press or in private.
